Raise The Roof
Lindsey came over yesterday evening for dinner and a movie. We made spaghetti with the help of the oh-so-delicious Kraft Tangy Italian seasoning mix. It is by far my favorite spaghetti sauce. Now if only they made it in a jar…sigh.
After eating tasty food, we watched FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL. I’ve seen [...]
Five Christmas Movies/Specials That Don’t Suck
Everyone has a list of Christmas movies/specials that they tend to watch from year-to-year, right? Shows like that annoying RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER (just hand Rudolph some Sudafed and send his retarded ass packing), or A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS (one day Charlie Brown is going to show up with a roomsweeper, and all of [...]
James Cameron’s Taste in Fonts Blows
I saw AVATAR over the weekend, and like I said on Twitter, “If THE LAST SAMURAI and FERNGULLY: THE LAST RAINFOREST hooked up one night, AVATAR would be their delightful bastard spawn.”
It’s a good movie, but seriously, James Cameron — was it really necessary to inflict the Papyrus font on us? Hasn’t it been [...]
Love Poem to THE NINTH GATE
Sitting on the couch as I type this, and drinking tea. Was seated at the kitchen table earlier, clickety-clacketying away, but the window there apparently isn’t sealed as well as it should be, and it was starting to get a bit drafty.
THE NINTH GATE is playing on the TV, more for background noise than [...]
Greetings, Starfighter
Still ill. Not as bad yesterday, thank gods, but am still pretty un-good.
I didn’t go to work yesterday, as all I was really up for was sleeping and puking, and for some reason they frown on this at the job. Instead, while trying to kill brain and body with a number of drugs, [...]
Drunken Movie Reviews
Earlier this year Sarah and I got hammered and watched MAY, some lameass horror movie Sarah picked off of her infamous “horror movie spreadsheet.” It was terrible; the only cool aspect was Anna Faris, who played a hot lesbian. But even this wasn’t enough to elevate the movie to “watchable.”
Afterwords, we decided it [...]
Quantum of Entertainment
That title is not really being fair to the new Bond movie, QUANTUM OF SOLACE; I just wanted to be like every film critic out there and make some sort of derogatory pun off the film’s title.
QUANTUM is actually a perfectly serviceable action movie, plenty full of chases, hand-to-hand fights, and choppy editing. It’s [...]
Moses Is Dead…Again
Charlton Heston is dead:
Charlton Heston, who won the 1959 best actor Oscar as the chariot-racing “Ben-Hur” and portrayed Moses, Michelangelo, El Cid and other figures in movie epics of the ’50s and ’60s, has died. He was 84.
The actor died Saturday night at his home in Beverly Hills with his wife Lydia at his [...]
Peoplez = Yum
Does it make me a bad person because I don’t see anything inherently wrong with the idea behind Soylent Green?
For those who haven’t ever seen it and don’t wish to know the big “secret” of the film, I suggest not reading on. Continue at your own peril. Ye be warned.
Well, I guess [...]
OHMYGODANEWINDYTRAILER!
. . . at least that’s what I think I should be saying, except I’m not.
I’ve been stoked about Indy IV since it was first announced, back in ‘00. This excitement has grown exponentially since then, especially this year, since the movie is coming out in a little over three months. The teaser trailer was [...]
